[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fortunately I live in a historic district where the community does care about what goes in and the aesthetics are regulated. I understand not everyone wants that, but I chose to live and invest in such an area.[/quote] The aesthetics were not regulated when people were building the buildings that are now in the historic district.[/quote] You mean back when there were actual craftsmen designing and building buildings, where details and nuance help shaped what was being built? You won't get that today because everything is built to be temporary - using plywood and tyvek as core materials on timber that is not old-growth. There is no way I would buy a house made in the last 15-20 years as anything more than a temporary dwelling.[/quote] This is not an aesthetics argument.[/quote]
